Sure, all the cameos and stuff was cool but I found it lacking in the plot hole and action department. Except the Wolverine V Deathstrike and the brief Cyclops V Marvel Girl, the rest of the action was little more than mutants slaughtering humans. The assault on the school was a prime example. The human strike force posed no threat to the mutants. Asside from some lame darts, they had no special anti-mutant equipment. No flash grenades, no gas, no nightvision. Nothing except lame facepaint. Once the kids were safe in the basement, Colussus and Wolverine could have easily dispatched them. It would have been worse if Storm and Marvel Girl were still around. Didn't Magneto tell them what mutants to expect? In short, there was no real sense of danger. It just showed a lack of creativity. Another, as yet unmentioned plot hole was that whole scout camp scene. The X-men just downed two F-16s. Were are the search and rescue, where are the FCC and special forces guys investigating the crash site? Nowhere. I agree with the previous assessment that the movie was alot of good scenes poorly connected together along with the most boring dam crash sequence ever. It had to have taken 45 minutes for that dam to break. So much for tension.Aaron</blockquote>
